TRENTON — A trio of city hairstylists will host what they are calling “Trenton’s first natural hair show” today to promote health and wellness as well as nontoxic hair-care products.

Nicole Towns, Staci Wimbush and Sonya “Redlocks” Boone of the Locks Majesty salon on the 500 block of Ingham Avenue organized the show, which will start at 3 p.m. at the Lighthouse Outreach Ministry on Bellevue Avenue.

The event will feature hair and fashion shows and more than 20 vendors from across the Mid-Atlantic region.

There will also be food vendors, including one offering vegan food for those who don’t eat meat, Towns said.

The show is not aimed at rejecting people who use wigs, weaves and hair extensions, but at offering healthy alternatives for hair care, she said.

“We’re trying to bring everything together to show people we’re not alone,” Towns said. ‘This is family-oriented so it’s men, women, children, seniors. We want everyone to come.”

Towns said she hoped the event will advance definitions of beauty that come from a sound body and mind.

“Natural health and wellness always starts from the inside. You can easily dress up the outside, and the inside could be just a mess. We definitely want to bridge that gap,” she said.

In addition to the vendors, representatives with the Mercer County National Alliance on Mental Illness will be on hand to assist anyone who has questions about mental health.

“One of the things we tend to shy away from as a community is mental health, and we need to be able to talk to somebody in a therapeutic manner,” Towns said.

Isles, a local nonprofit community-development organization, will have a booth at the show, and consultations on relationships will be offered by Montsho and Nwasha Edu of the Akoma House Initiative, a local couples-counseling firm, she said.
